“Erwin Schrott [Don Giovanni] -- a mixture of suave charm and ferocious brutality, a healthy voice, a lusty stage presence. Erin Wall [was] a bright, charming, radiantly sweet-sounding yet dramatically astute Donna Anna. Ildar Abdrazakov made an animated, multidimensional Leporello.” ~ The Washington Post
“The voices are luminous, the orchestra is playing at its best, and Mozart's music, as always, is beyond compare.” ~The Washington Times
Widely regarded as the greatest opera ever composed, Mozart's celebrated tragicomedy tells the story of the famous womanizer who is given one last chance to repent of his philandering ways. But when he adds murder and blasphemy to his lengthy list of sins, human and supernatural forces combine to enact a terrible punishment and avenge Donna Anna, Donna Elvira, and thousands of other women.
